Meeting minutes of last class

1. We saw details on how Swamiji established the Vedanta society of NewYork in 1894.

2. We saw about one or two incidents in Sister Nivedita's(Margaret Elizabeth Noble) life which made her pursue the path of spirituality.

3. We also saw how Max Muller, a German Sanskrit scholar was deeply inspired by Sri Ramakrishna who wrote an article-A real Mahatman on Sri Ramakrishna and also authored a book Ramakrishna: His life and sayings.

4. We have to start from Despite the rush ... paragraph in Swamiji's biography.

5. In the Bhagavad Gita book we completed Chapter -10. We also discussed Vishayananda and Bhajanananda differences where Bhajanananda is applicable only to humans but Vishayananda is seen in animals as well. Bhajanananda increase with sharing whereas Vishayananda does not. Today we will continue from Chapter-11 of the above mentioned book(not Adhyaya 11 of Gita).

We warmly encourage everyone to join and make the most of this opportunity.
